Silence of the Bean Sidhe

Oh joy! Oh ecstasy! Last night, I dreamed that my book was going to get published! The publisher's letter said something like, "Couldn't let this pass. We'll be publishing it...etc" It was better than one of those dreams where can you fly and breathe under water! When I woke up and told my husband,... Sign in to see full entry.

Perhaps a silly question: But when do you get to call yourself a "writer"? Do you have to have published something first? Gotten paid? Is one an "aspiring writer" until one gets something published? Or is it a matter of personal opinion? Of motivation? Of heart? However philosophical this matter may... Sign in to see full entry.

First of all, my humblest apologies to those who have already declared their abject dislike for all things mathematic (including myself). I'm being the one who keeps blabbing about caramel and sumptuous chocolates after the rest of the group has admitted to being on a strict no-sugar diet! Also, it... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've been running a little dry on the Blogit front of late. For some reason, I haven't been able to think of a thing to say. It happens, I suppose. It's not that I've been going through a creative Winter. On the contrary, I've started up on a new story, which I'm having a lot of whacky fun... Sign in to see full entry.

Several entries back (I think it was the one about coincidence), I talked about the universe steering people in certain directions using a universal language. It tends to give them a good kick in the arse when they don't listen. At the time I couldn't think of an example, but here's a doozy: My... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, let's finish this puppy off! The Wizard's Chamber, end chapter Weeks passed. Confused about the garden incident, Gismonda had kept out of the Enchantress’s way as much as she could. She did not know whether to give in to hope and risk having it destroyed again or to begin separating herself... Sign in to see full entry.

The following morning found discord breakfasting with mocking curiosity. “Pass me a sticky bun, would you love?” Gismonda had refused to sit at the same table with Renalto and sat halfway on the cutting table instead. She snatched a pastry, which was in her opinion far too good for the man, from the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Wizard's Chamber, part 4 The distant sound of frantic paper and heavy objects dropping to the floor guided him through the stony corridors. The cheery, colorful tapestries Gismonda had hung on the walls in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere only served to accentuate the blackness of the stone... Sign in to see full entry.

Here are a few more thoughts I had on negative space on the train ride home (staring at cows zooming by the window tends to turn one's thoughts to mush). I know they're really out there, but hey! If you can't put 'm here on Blogit, then where can you put 'm? - Negative Space is (lots) bigger than we... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to try to flesh out a fairly complicated idea in my head here, so I'm not sure how this is all going to come out. It's about negative space. This philosophical journey began after watching Shyamalan's Lady in the Water. As always, his story was wonderful. He tells the story around the... Sign in to see full entry.
